Enhanced Features
The Attenuator on/off switch can be automatically recognized by power meter models 1830-R,
1918-R, 1936-R, and 2936-R.
The 918D Series include a full spectral response calibration
utilizing NIST-traceable standards calibrated with highprecision equipment maintained in Newport’s optical
detector calibration facility. Tight calibration facility and
process control allows the tightest calibration uncertainty
in industry. Each detector is shipped with the calibration
data, which is electronically stored inside the detector's
EEPROM. A certificate of calibration as well as the actual
calibration curves and data are shipped with each detector
for attenuator and no attenuator modes. To maintain
accuracy and guarantee performance Newport
recommends annual photodiode detector calibration.
S E R I E S
The 918D Series Photodiode Sensors are designed to
outperform Newport's industry proven 818 Series
Calibrated Photodiode Sensors , by enhancing their
performance with advanced features. They feature
integrated calibration data storage, built-in OD1, OD2 or
OD3 attenuation filter with an electronic attenuator On/Off
sensor, and sensing electronics for temperature drift
compensation, making the detector more accurate in
temperature changes.
Exclusive OD3 attenuator technology extends the calibrated
optical dynamic range of our detectors by three decades.
Our attenuator design provides high damage threshold and
spectral flatness. With the low NEP associated with the
photodiodes Newport is using, a wider dynamic range is
achieved. For less than 1 mW input power, we recommend
to put the attenuator to OFF position (0.1 mW for 918D-UVOD3R between 200 - 400 nm) to maximize the signal to
noise ratio.

Newport uses the highest quality semiconductor detector
materials available. Available sensor types are silicon (Si),
UV-enhanced Si, Germanium, and Indium Gallium Arsenide
(InGaAs). Choose 918D-UV-OD3R for 200 - 400 nm
wavelength, but note that the maximum measurable power
level in 400 - 1100 nm is as low as 50 mW with the
attenuator on. Newport’s advanced in-house calibration
facility performs the tightest calibrations in the business,
further improving the absolute accuracy of our detectors.

Based on maximum power density of the OD3 attenuator. For OD2 reduce the value by 10x, & for OD1, derate value by 100x.
15 ns pulse width, max w/ attenuator is for OD3. For OD2 derate listed value by 10x, & for OD1, derate value by 100x.
Uniformity specification applies to photodiode only. It does not apply to the attenuator.
Selected at time of ordering.
Calibration uncertainty can be varied depending on the NIST transfer standard uncertainty variation.
